Poseidon Resources has announced the selection of the team that will design and build the proposed 50 million gallon per day, $270 million Carlsbad desalination plant. The plant, the largest desalination facility ever to be constructed in California, will be engineered and constructed by a team that includes American Water, Pridesa America, PBS&J, and J.R. Filanc Construction, with (FPBA) providing all architectural services. FPBA has been directly involved with the project for the last several years, developing the architectural designs and supporting Poseidon throughout their public review and entitlement processes.

“The opportunity provided by American Water, Pridesa and PBS&J for FPBA to join their team allows our firm to ensure our initial design concepts will be faithfully implemented. We have been fortunate to team with a group that is fully committed to Poseidon’s and Carlsbad’s vision of this facility as a major element in their long-range plans for the area” said Kennon Baldwin AIA, President of FPBA.
